Purpose

To provide decentralized infrastructure so individuals can broadcast their voice. To have informative shows that can spread the ideas of alternative living, the failure of democracy shit like that. Music shows as well, people performing live.

NB Radio will take the lead in working to create a total United States Hacker Radio Network. This will be a website & mailing list that will connect United States' hackerspaces to enable the USA wide production of Hacker Radio content. Hackerspaces nationwide will be able to tap into this content for use in their own local city hackerspace FCC liscensed FM Broadcast band radio station.

We will work together to help hackerspaces around the United States prepare their local city FCC radio license applications.

For instance, Clif, who is from Gainesville, FL, and is now living in the San Francisco bay area, might be able to assist

with coordinating their own station, as well as possibly others.

The next LPFM filing window is projected to be about October 15, 2013. Exact dates for the filing period will be announced via Public Notice before the start of the filing period. See the December 4, 2012 Order at Paragraph 211. Notice will also be posted on the FCC's website.

== Low Power FM (LPFM) Noncommercial Educational Radio Broadcast Stations Return to Top

Low power FM stations operate with 1 to 100 watts of power and cover a radius up to approximately 5.6 km (3.5 miles). Current information about the low power FM filing service is maintained on the LPFM page. The Audio Division has also assembled a program to help find available FM channels for LPFM stations.

Applications for new LPFM stations can only be filed on FCC Form 318 during the dates specified for an application filing window. Applications received at other times will be returned without consideration. We cannot provide advance information as to when the next application filing window period may be, but when that information is announced, it will be in the form of a Public Notice and posted at several places on the FCC's website.

Audience

Content/Sign Up Sheet

Our first step with finding content to fill the airwaves with will be to find people willing to use this transmitter as a means to express themselves. After that, building a program schedule will help to keep us from getting confused. Below you'll find the program schedule/ sign up sheet.

Financial budget

Location, equipment, facilities.

Options:
Turning the DJ booth into an actual real live DJ booth.
Having the station out in the open to allow a for a more decentralized radio transmitter. Could cause problems if tampered with. It may be in our best interest to use the DJ booth.
